Camsemi are leading the way in power management circuitry. This has a major application in areas such as consumer products, so appliances such as televisions, phone chargers or video recorders will consume almost no power in standby mode.

Whilst the individual standby power consumption of these devices is relatively small, the cumulative energy savings possible from changing to more efficient circuitry are huge, with the number of devices this technology can be applied to in the billions.

As well as being more energy efficient, the technology is also lower cost than the current alternative, which together means that the company is poised to rapidly expand into global markets.
